Iincrease in police presence suggests arson in the fires of tobacco houses - residents

PINAR DEL RIO, April 3 (Víctor Rolando Arroyo, UPECI / www.cubanet.org) - Residents of Guane, Pinar del Río province, find in the increased police presence here evidence that the recent fires in at least three tobacco curing houses may not have been accidental.

Authorities and the official press have not mentioned the fires or any other aspect of the matter.

The last house burned on the night of March 26 in El Naranjal. Sources say the house was full of recently picked leaves belonging to one Fidel Obregón, famed for producing top quality leaves.

Approximately 72 hours earlier, another house had burned not too far from Obregón’s curing house, in the town of Isabel Rubio.
